This time, it’s the petition filed by former chief justice and Madang governor Sir Arnold Amet over the Sumkar seat.
Sir Arnold filed the petition against Sumkar MP Chris Nangoi.
Nangoi’s lawyer informed the court on Monday that a notice of discontinuance in the proceeding was filed by Sir Arnold’s lawyer on Oct 5.
The court accordingly allowed the withdrawal of the petition and ordered for the security bond fee of K5,000 to be refunded to the petitioner.
